I like the Old Republic books. They are an interesting read, with the chance to get away from the characters from the Star Wars movies. This was a very quick read for me, and somewhat predictable. Bane was a bit more calculating and the other characters were a bit more flat. Only a few surprises, and those not attending the plot or arc of the books.
It did seem to me that this book was rushed. It just wasn't as sharp or insightful as the previous books. Perhaps I'm just losing interest in the franchise. I have read most of the books. The New Jedi Order books really did put me off. That was a depressing chain of 18 books, with absolutely no resolution or happy ending. It has colored my thinking. I know there are books by certain authors that I don't read because those authors just aren't interesting. Also, some fairly key elements in the previous books didn't seem to make their way throughout the whole universe yet, or perhaps some authors don't want them to color their notions of how the SW universe should act.
Interesting book, continues the arc. I'll have to wait for a further book to see if it actually is pivotal or not. It does have the potential.
